Report Manager - Blank Reports Page

Hi,

I'm getting blank page when I open the Report Manager: I've got a header - "...Reporting... HOME", and then just empty space.

I had it working fine a week ago. Any ideas?

The RS runs on Win2003 Std, SQL 2005 Std.

Thanks

Very likely the account that you use to connect to report manager no longer has permission. Connect as a admin and check your permissions.|||

I'm connecting as administrator.

Speaking about permission... Which permissions are you talking about?

Thanks

|||I am talking about RS permissions. In report manager look at the property tab of the home page. But I guess you are not seeing the tab either?|||

You are right.

I'm getting just a header part of the page:

"SQL Server Reporting Services - Home" and few other links like "Home", "My Subscriptions", etc.

Does any one have an idea how this page rendered?

What can cause this part of the page to be blank?

Thanks,

Mark

Log in locally on your report server computer as a member of the Local Administrators group. Then on the home folder, select Properties, go to Security and give the users you want the access level you want them to have.

This help topic will give you a starting point for learning about how to secure reporting services:

Hope that helps,

|||I am having the same problem. What home folder do you mean?

|||

When you first launch report manager, it defaults to the home folder. This is also known as the 'root' or the folder with path "/". You need to login as a local admin on the report server computer, then you should see the properties tab and be able to get to the security tab.

|||Yeah my problem is that I don't see any of that. I really get nothing except a couple of links in the top corner for home and subscriptions and an icon for a folder on the left and side that does nothing. As far as i can tell I am logged in as an administrator. I have also changed the authentication from anonymous to windows like I have read elsewhere. Something tells me the only thing left to do is uninstall and reinstall.

instereo,

I found that incorrect virtual directory mapping caused the problem.

Check whether each virtual directory of reporting services in IIS has phisycal folder mapped:

in my case, I created dedicated web site in IIS for 2 reports virtual directories, and my problem was a physical folder mapped for this dedicated site - it had no "home directory" mapped,actually, for "reportserver" virtual directory.

Hope it will help you

If you're accessing the machine remotely, try logging onto it as a member of the local administrators group and trying to open report manager.

The other thing you can do is check that your Virtual directory settings are correct in the reporting services configuration tool. Go to the report server and report manager virtual directory tabs and click the "apply default settings" button on each.

you should see some buttons on a tool bar allowing you to upload a file, etc.

|||I did end up getting it to work. I reinstalled SQL Server and reconfigured everything. For some reason my default website was not working in IIS and upon further investigation i found that i was missing my wwwroot directory. So i copied this file from a co-worker but the security setting were all wrong. I don't know how to properly configure this directory so i just made an Everyone group with all access. Not the best thing to do for sure, however everything works now.
|||ok, I have done everything that has been suggested above. I am currently logged in as local admin. Given that I should at least see the properties in order to add or change permissions, however, I dont. Everything lines up in report server configuration. The only ones not green are the keyfile (optional) and initialization (not a developers edition)

So, what gives?
|||

I would really appreciate if anyone could provide the solutions for this problem.

I'm running SQL Server 2005 and reporting service in a computer with Vista Business.

I've already tried every single method that I could find find on the internet included disabling anonymous login for both Reports and ReportServer in IIS manager. However, I still can only see HOME, MY SUBSCRIPTIONS and HELP link on the header only. The rest is all blank below.

ps: I'm able to connect to Reporting Service Configuration with green checkmarks on those necessary components without any error.

Please help..

First, you willl need to do the steps that I listed previously in this forum thread.

If you login locally, you will also need to add both the report server and report manager URLs to Trusted Sites if you are using IE.

Let me know if this solves your problem.
